I was inspired to finally write this novel after reading Reverend Insanity. I've always wished to write a truly evil main character.

Most main characters in novels, especially those of the cultivation genre are quite shallow in my opinion, collecting women like pokemon while breezing through cultivation at such high speeds due to their cheats that it reduces cultivation which is a concept i am quite fond of into just a mechanism to stimulate dopamine in the reader after every break through.

Cultivation should be a hard and time consuming endeavor that takes one an entire life of dedication in order to achieve the smallest of feats, and yet even though the protagonist is often just a brat without even a hundred of years of life experience under his belt he often manages to obliterate, outsmart and out skill opponents that have lived for thousands of years.

Just like Gu Zhen Ren i wish to write a story that dismantles the common cultivation novel plots and cliches.

I wish to write a story with a believable world and characters. To construct a main character that isn't hung up on morality or swayed by beautiful woman.

I do not wish to write a juvenile that only thinks with their genitals, possessing the personality of a wooden bucket.

On the other hand although I love Fang Yuan and greatly enjoy reading about him and his philosophy, i do not wish to write a complete pragmatist for i know that i won't enjoy writing such a character.

I wish to write about a calm, calculating schemer who can't help but dip their toes into insanity every now and then.

A person who will never hesitate to cross the line. A person that views morals and virtues as naught but tools to exploit.

A person who will trample, exploit and use everyone and everything available to them to achieve their ends.

I wish to write about the greatest evil who will eat their own babies for fun!
